remote team

It’s no secret that the success of a remote team hangs on their communication skills. Not only are you relying on everyone’s self-discipline in getting their tasks done from outside your office, but if they aren’t internally communicating your entire chain of command can quickly break down. I’ve been working remotely for two and a half years now, and in that time I’ve seen many remote workers come and go.

badger maps_steve benson

I believe that Google is one of the best big companies to work at. They do a great job of building an amazing culture and they really care about their employees. It’s very impressive how they’ve been able to maintain a small company feel, in terms of speed and agility, by keeping the teams small and breaking up the company into several parts.
